Windows 10: Computer keeps dropping Internet connection

Computer keeps dropping Internet connection

I bought a used computer and since I have attached it to my network I have had nothing but problems. First it seems as thought it was acting as a DHCP server somehow as some devices when connecting to my network would pick up the IP address of this new computer as the default gateway. I went into device manager deleted the network adapter and let it reinstall (not sure if that is correct)

Now it is constantly losing Internet connection and getting it back. It is hard wired, running Windows 10.

Here is what ipconfig says:

Not sure what to do next, but it cuts in and out every 2 minutes or so now.

If I understood this right... You didn't perform fresh Windows install?

When getting used computer, the first thing should be to wipe the drive clean and perform clean install of Windows.

Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Make sure that Addition option is checked.
Press Scan button.
It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
Please copy and paste log back .
The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe).
